    You keep saying this, but horns don't make them dragons. Other reptiles, like snakes, have horns.

    Your signature doesn't really suit you, the way you're carrying on like this. Scientific accuracy goes out the window all the time. Even G1 Grimlock wasn't "Scientifically Accurate."

    Hey, she said Bee was a piece of crap, all right? :( 

    And you do realize this is Transformers, right? We had a giant wormhole pop out in Earth's atmosphere and Cybertron start to come through, an act that would have taken out the Earth almost immediately.

    And beyond that, Transformers are the masters of defying physics.

    A long way? It wasn't but a few years ago that scientists ascertained that raptors most likely had feathers or that the T-rex walked different then how we picture Grimlock moving.

    I wonder if the Dinobots originally copied dinosaurs exactly, even with beast wars style skin (man, if Scott McNeil does the raptors voice .. Holy shit!!) but they got captured by lockdown or lockdowns ship, and attempts were made to mutate them, weaponise them etc?



    All wild speculation, of course!!

    Too bad we haven't gotten any other transformers that look like animals before it sure would prove that they could be cybertronian beasts

    So why did the 80s cartoon have him walking irregularly then?

    You mean... scientific accuracy was shunned for... entertainment! :O

    he was made that way because that outdated stance was still rooted in the publics mind.

    Entertainment has been sacrificing scientific accuracy for decades. Why complain about it now?

    So... scientific accuracy was tossed aside for entertainment then. Gotcha.
